Errors When Opening Files

When downloading and opening fillable PDF forms (i.e. Attachments E2, E3, and FOG8), you may receive an error if you try to open the file in your web browser (i.e. Chrome, Firefox, Safari). Some web browsers have a built-in PDF reader; files opened in the browser default to the built-in reader rather than Adobe Reader. If you cannot open a file or receive an error message when trying to open it:

Make sure an up-to-date version of Adobe Reader is downloaded and installed on your computer.

Save the file you are trying to open to your computer.

Open Adobe Reader, and use it to open the file.

You also can right click on the saved file and select "Open With..." and select Adobe Reader to open the file instead.

More Information

Please note: An application must describe an education program that is unique to the applicant. An applicant that plagiarizes or copies any other application does not meet this standard.
